Seattle Space Needle

Seattle's Iconic Landmark

Built for the 1962 World’s Fair, the Seattle Space Needle is one of Seattle's most iconic landmarks, offering sweeping views of downtown Seattle, Mount Rainier, Elliott Bay, and the Olympic and Cascade Mountains from the observation deck. A visit to the Space Needle also opens the door to plenty of other experiences at Seattle Center. Right next to the Needle, you will find Chihuly Garden and Glass with its vivid sculptures and beautiful indoor and outdoor displays. MoPOP is just steps away and offers exhibits that explore music, movies, and pop culture. Families often love stopping by the Pacific Science Center for hands-on activities and immersive learning.
